Simon

offices are three times more likely to have cleared before Christmas if they had a revision than if you did not - our poorest clearance performance is in offices that did not have a revision

those offices that had a revision were 3 times more likely to clear before Christmas than those that had not…
It's amazing how redeployment of managers who are told their bonus is at risk will do and facilitated by travel mileage!

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

Simon, what is the point? What is the point of YOU? And what is the point of your ramblings on Workplace if you don't answer the questions you are asked on there?
Don't be shy, say it as you see it!
You can not open a dialogue with the 'Team' bribe the 'Team' to go on it and act like a dick.

team - tell the truth - be respectful - be open to other points of view - if you are doing these three things, post post post post…

See yous Monday.

Yes, hes getting everyones back up now instead of just letting us get on with what we know needs doing.

SIMON, WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING AND THE MOST EFFICENT WAY OF DOING IT

GET EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS DELIVERING SENT TO THE CORRECT DELIVERY OFFICE BY 8AM, GIVE US ENOUGH VANS AND PDAS FOR EACH WALK AND LET US GET ON WITH IT.

“Dispatch times will soon be later”...
I don’t think he’s mentioned it today actually (although he most probably has).

Worst thing about Simon currently, alongside the lies, is he comes across as incompetent. It seems his level of expertise is looking at some Excel spreadsheet and parroting back the numbers.

I never blame the CWU for anything - I find them very helpful - they always come to the table with insight & good ideas….

Managers Update

First and Second Class Stamp Prices

04 March 2022

From 4 April 2022, the price of a 1st Class stamp will increase by 10p to 95p and the price of a
2nd Class stamp will increase by 2p to 68p.
Royal Mail has considered these pricing changes very carefully in light of the long term structural decline in letter usage and rising inflation.
Letter volumes have declined by more than 60 percent since their peak in 2004/5, and around 20 percent since the start of the pandemic.

Overall, these changes are broadly in line with inflation and are necessary to ensure the one-price-goes-anywhere Universal Service remains sustainable. The Universal Service Obligation (USO) requires Royal Mail to deliver letters to 31 million home and business addresses across
the UK six days a week at the same price.
Royal Mail's stamp prices remain among the best value in Europe compared to other postal operators. Royal Mail research shows that the European average price for 1st Class letters (0-100g) is £1.36.

As customer needs change and we see a greater shift from letters to parcels, it is vital that the Universal Service adapts to stay relevant and sustainable.
